Steven Hornik earned his PhD in accounting from Florida International University in 1999 and his undergraduate degree in Accounting and Information Systems from the University of Miami. He currently teaches Financial Accounting and Advanced Information Systems at the University of Central Florida, but did experience actual winters while a visiting professor at the University of Maryland College Park and as an assistant professor at Xavier in Cincinnati (enough to know that Florida is the place to be).
Steven considers himself to be an Edupreneur, which is someone who pursues opportunity," without regard to resources currently controlled by the educational institution, without regard to the technology currently available to educators or their students and without regard to the technology educators and students are currently comfortable using". (Robert Bloomfield/Byers Sellers 07/28/08 The Virtual Chalkbaord),
Steven has integrated technological tools into his teaching since his first AIS class as a graduate student. He has evangelized about technology benefits from the earliest days of Gopher, Archie, and Veronica - precursors to what we now call the WWW. Sometimes he has gone overboard and asked his students to use the polling tool in BlackBoard to vote on when to have a case study when all the students and he were in the same room! But for the most part he tries to use sound pedagogical reasoning in his attempts to integrate tools into his classroom.
The tools Steven is currently using in his class include:
Steven has been awarded grant W91CRB-08-D-0015 from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Acquisition Center for support of virtual world efforts.
Steven was also mentioned in the Journal of Accountancy for his educational work in Second Life in the June 2008 issue.
